    Default Jesse Jackson: Obama's 'acting like he's white'

    Oh, we can't be all acting white up in here, can we?

    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    WASHINGTON (CNN) — The Rev. Jesse Jackson sharply criticized Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama Tuesday over his reaction to the arrest of six black juveniles in Jena, Louisiana on murder charges, accusing the Illinois senator of "acting like he's white," according to a South Carolina newspaper.

    The comments reportedly came during a speech at Columbia’s historically black Benedict College.

    The State newspaper reports Jackson later said he did not recall saying Obama is "acting like he's white," but continued to condemn the Illinois Democrat as well as the other presidential candidates for not bringing more attention to this issue.

    Ah, race baiters. I guess that for Jackson, all black people have to act alike, and all white people act alike.

    I thought stereotyping with regards to race was a bad thing.

    Jesse's just jealous that Obama is going to have more delegates at the convention than he ever got.

    I ask because it's usually something like that which causes outbursts like this, needless to say I dissagree completely.

    You guys are all missing what this is really about. Who has been Jesse's political patron for the past 15 years? Bill who? Who's married to whom? What's one demographic she trails significantly in? This is the Clinton camp's answer to Oprah's sponorship of Obama. Jesse just had his debt called in.

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    Wasn't Obama's mother white? Didn't he grow up in a white area with his white mother?

    Maybe he prefers the nice cushy lifestyle of the white man? As opposed to the general lifestyle of most African Americans, which is hardly the most desirable kind of lifestyle.

    And who can blame him for being succesful?

    Or should black politicians always live in the ghetto to be Black enough? That's what Jackson implies.

    Heck, more than implying all black politicians should live in the ghetto, he's implying the black population should have no diversity. No richer, no poorer, no more educated, no less educated, no more liberal, no more conservative . . . just one monolithic sameness that is 'blackness.'

    I figure he just needed a suitable slogan. There's a sort of nationalist whiff to it, which obviously gets pretty complex pretty fast if you start thinking about it... which is probably why it's handed out as a populist denounciation of an unclear "us and them" form.
    "Let us remember that there are multiple theories of Intelligent Design. I and many others around the world are of the strong belief that the universe was created by a Flying Spaghetti Monster. --- Proof of the existence of the FSM, if needed, can be found in the recent uptick of global warming, earthquakes, hurricanes, and other natural disasters. Apparently His Pastaness is to be worshipped in full pirate regalia. The decline in worldwide pirate population over the past 200 years directly corresponds with the increase in global temperature. Here is a graph to illustrate the point."

    Sigh, someone explain him that ganging up with six on one is a bad thing to do, pittytude galore, as always. Where was he with the christian couple that were mutually respected quite viciously.
